Homeowners associations (HOAs) are more hassle than help.
They promise to maintain neighborhood standards, but most of the time, they’re busy handing out fines for trivial things like grass being too long or a trash can left out too early.

It’s hard to see the benefit when you have to follow endless rules and deal with power-tripping board members.
These clever homeowners were fed up with their oppressive HOAs. So they schemed up ways to dodge their oversight.
Lucky for the rest of us, they shared their cunning tactics in this oh-so-satisfying thread on Reddit.
